I never miss a chance to see this man. His band is always top notch and his new stuff was good. Didn't play as many old favs as on his last tour but that happens. This show would have been great if I had better seats. Could only get tix in the upper balcony, so the view was expected and acceptable. What wasn't accpetable was the poor sound quality up there. Woudn't ruin a good show by buying these seats again. Better to skip it or see him elsewhere.

I felt as though I was watching a really good cover band play Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry decided to show up. Ferry was so ill he should have cancelled, if I could have asked for my money back I would have, The only positive event was Fonzie Thornton.. His voice carried the weight.

Excellent show.Great set list.The band was top notch.Bryan sounded a bit strained at times but still sounded fine throughout most of the show.I've never been disappointed with any of his perfomances,solo or with "Roxy Music".Ever the consummate performer.

An absolutely fabulous performance.The show encompassed all phases of his carrer but focused mostly on the "Roxy Music" output.14 out of 21 songs were "Roxy" and that's just fine with me and apparently the Philly audience as well.

The concert was extraordinary, spanning decades of his music. What was particularly so amazing is that much of Bryan Ferry's 21st Century music is deeply atmospheric, and the Beacon captures and even enhances many of the effects one knows from his recordings. The guitar and saxophone solos were hair-raising, they were so good. I was electrified by the music and excited to see that the young girls sitting near me knew every word of every song and were having the best time. They made this unforgettable concert even better for me, too!

Philadelphia needs to get more talented premier acts like Bryan Ferry in town more often. A complete entertainer and musicians, musician. He did agreat mix of song from all period of hes solo and roxy carrer as well has haveing an incredible band with him. The tower as the venue made it even more special, we have one of the premiere venues in the world in The Tower and Ferry rock it!! I feel sorry for people who either missed the show or never even took the time to give Roxy/Ferry a serious listen. Hopefully he comes back soon.

Back in the day, 1980's , I was not the biggest fan of Roxy Music or Bryan Ferry. Over the years, I've gravitated to his music. it's like finding new music. I really enjoy it now. He was very good. Voice still silky smooth, songs still hold up. I look up songs, on setlist, and was prepared for that song set he did in NYC. But changed up a little to include a rousing edition of " DON'T STOP THE DANCE " one of my favorites! I was not expecting to hear that and it brought down the house. The man STILL has that Post-Punk Romantic personeI was so Glad I went. Really worth a try!

Coming off a couple cancelations I was worried he still might be not feeling well. Nope, he was in great form and voice was very strong. Took stage with vigor and rocked the house through the opening few songs. Kept up throughout. Band and backup singers were amazzing.

Maybe the show was not Mr. Ferry's best ever, but it was an honor to hear him sing his well known songs. He was undoubtably having a hard time with his throat that night but he did very well considering. I loved every minute of the show. All of his band members are extremely talented especially the drummer and the sax player which are both woman.

Hearing “Virginia Plain” live for the first time was a thrill for me! Bryan’s 2011 New York Beacon show was the first time I ever saw him play live so I had never heard a lot of the old Roxy music songs done live before. In 2011, “If There Is Something” just set the place alight from the start. So I was a little disappointed early in this show when everyone sat still for “If There Is Something”. The first part of this show dragged a bit, almost with an awareness of each song being checked off the set list as it was played.

Maybe it was the drumming, which was fine here, but phenomenal in 2011. It could have been because Bryan wasn’t feeling well. I felt for him because I can’t imagine anything worse with a bad cold than having to get on stage and sing. It must take incredible effort.

The set list was an interesting mix of solo stuff, older Roxy Music songs, two brand new ones and a beautiful re-working of “More Than This”, with just voice and keyboards. It was really captivating to hear Bryan re-interpret his own song, capturing the heart and soul of it as beautifully as he does on songs he covers. For someone whose music is often rhythm driven, Bryan has a rare gift for finding and conveying the beauty of a melody to an audience whenever he sings. And on this one, his hoarse voice may have enhanced the performance. The new song “Loop De Li” sounded very good, mixing a driving, serpentine rhythm with a dream-like melody, a bit like some of his best 80s solo songs. Very memorable.

In a way this concert was like two shows and hard to rate with stars. There was the sometimes sluggish, setlist-by-numbers first part. But it all changed, starting with the two new songs and a lovely four-song AVALON interlude of “Tara”, “Take A Chance With Me”, “More Than This” and “Avalon” (with an amazing female backing vocal). Then, “Casanova” kicked in and it seemed as if all at once, everybody was up and dancing for the rest of the set! Even the promoter Ron Delsner was dancing in the aisle to “Virginia Plain”, “Editions of You” and Let’s Stick Together”. For me, hearing all these songs live one after the other, some for the first time, was a total rush! The slow start and Bryan not feeling well made the euphoric groove that developed during the show feel all the more special in the audience, and I think maybe for the band too, the way the concert turned into a party for the last five or six songs. If Bryan had just thrown in an impromptu “Do the Strand” at the end, we might all still be dancing! Next time?

( Bryan's Louis Vuitton jacket was beautiful. Under the stage lights and in photos the floral print looked almost like a tapestry or painting.)

Bryan ferry's voice was shot. The bass player played way to loud and drowned out the rest of the band. The band could have been tighter. It felt like they were just going through the motions.

I love Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry, so I loved the show. The setlist I would've wished for would've included Street Life & Dance Away and Over You, and nixed Remake, Ladytron, and Johnny and Mary. Still Loved Loved Loved the show. The band was awesome and Bryan was terrific.
